Northwestern? No one tunes in if "role playing 2 and 3 star" athletes fill the field for Northwestern and they go 2-10 for the season. You might as well run reruns of Northwestern's Rose Bowl teams if you want ratings. People tune in to watch star players and that's why they are more highly compensated. Last I checked, I did not tune in to watch Notre Dame play Bowling Green to see the guys holding down the bench. And ticket sales/revenues go down for Bowling Green as does the TV ratings thus less money for all. Star power drives revenue and deserves to be compensated. Everyone else should be happy with their free ride and work harder to make an impact so they can get the higher dollars.
